A Powell man sustained minor injuries early Wednesday, Sept. 3, after the tractor-trailer he was operating overturned near 8763 N. U.S. Route 68.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office report Suhail Shwaikieh, 42, was driving a southbound 2016 Volvo VNL semi about 12:18 a.m. on U.S. 68 when it went off the right side of the road. The semi then overcorrected and reentered the highway, where it overturned onto its right side and struck a mailbox and utility pole before coming to rest.
The driver, who was complaining of back pain, was transported by Rushcreek EMS to Mary Rutan Hospital. He was cited for failure to control.
The semi’s load of Dollar General plasticware merchandise, such as cups, bowls, and utensils, was dumped onto U.S. 68 and created a “mess,” deputies said.
Amish residents living in the area helped clean up the plasticware.
Damage to the semi was disabling, and it was towed from the scene by Top’s Towing.
